The Data Rescue Project

Learn about the Data Rescue Project's origin and current efforts to support the federal statistical system, available resources, the Data Rescue Project Portal, and how you can stay informed or help. The Data Rescue Project is a coordinated effort among a group of data organizations, including IASSIST, RDAP, and the Data Curation Network. The project goal is to serve as a clearinghouse for efforts focused on preserving access to public data and data access points for public US governmental data that are currently at risk. Join us to hear from Dr. Lynda Kellam, Snyder-Granader Director of Research Data & Digital Scholarship, University of Pennsylvania Libraries, a steering committee and founding member of the Data Rescue Project.
